Zeeland

Among the cities of Michigan, Zeeland stands out for the Dutch-American heritage that has shaped it since its founding. Settlers from the Netherlands established the community in 1847 and named it after the Dutch province of Zeeland; their Reformed church tradition remains part of the city’s identity. Zeeland lies in Ottawa County in western Michigan, inland from Lake Michigan and within the Macatawa River watershed. Manufacturing has long been important here: clockmaker Howard Miller was founded in Zeeland in 1926, while automotive technology company Gentex is headquartered in the city.
